As sales models are being re-engineered to incorporate more market dynamics and adversities, sales compensation models are also becoming increasingly complex. In the global market where increasing customer reach is a major challenge, it has become essential to include dealers, partners, distributors, retailers, contractors, buying centers across various sales channels into the business’ Sales ICM model. Accurately measuring and rewarding the performance of the sales force (both internal and external to the business) has become the key to driving desired behavior in achieving the business objectives. Failure to understand Sales ICM as a key influencer for the sales force results in mal-aligned, error prone, labor intensive and time consuming compensation processes and a frustrated sales force. It is important to visualize Sales ICM as a business system which evolves...

...In an Islamic capital market (ICM) market transactions are carried out in ways that do not conflict with the conscience of Muslims and the religion of Islam. Here, there is assertion of religious law so that the market is free from activities prohibited by Islam such as usury (riba), gambling (maisir) and ambiguity (gharar). The ICM is a component of the overall capital market in Malaysia. It plays an important role in generating economic growth for the country. The ICM functions as a parallel market to the conventional capital market, and plays a complementary role in the Islamic banking system in broadening and deepening the Islamic financial markets in Malaysia. The Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) was established in May 1996 to advise the...

...ICM traveled to John F. Kennedy Behavioral Health Center to meet with Mr. Still to assist him with picking up his prescription from Walgreens Pharmacy and to complete his PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) assessment. ICM reviewed the directions on the prescription labels with Mr. Still and instructed him to consistently take the prescribed dosage. ICM encouraged Mr. Still to communicate with ICM, recovery coach, and his therapist about any side effects to his medication. Due to Mr. Still’s difficulties with remembering to take his medication, ICM outreached to staff at St. John’s Hospice to see if they could assist Mr. Still with taking his medication daily. ICM was informed that staff at St. John’s Hospice would be unable to administer...

...characters that exhibit loyalty the most are Faraj and Mousa, where we see in many occasions their reliability. Mousa frequently proves his loyalty to Suleiman by acting as a father figure to him and always being there for him as Faraj is unable to be there for him most of the time due to his endless business trips. ”At other times I secretly wished that Moosa, Baba’s closest friend, was my father instead… He often carried me on his shoulders to pick the high fruit, sweetened by the sun, on the crowns of the plum and orange trees in our garden,” (ICM, p.29-30). Another instance where Mousa has proven his loyalty Suleiman’s family and to Faraj in particular, is when he burns Faraj’s books that verified his anti-government beliefs, so that the Mukhabarat wouldn’t find evidence to his support to the anti-government movement. “Then, looking into my eyes, he said, ‘we mustn’t tell the men coming here about Baba’s books. You must promise,” (ICM, p.99). Furthermore, Mousa exhibits his loyalty to Um Suleiman, as he doesn’t tell her husband, and his best friend, that she is an alcoholic and is almost always drunk when he is out on his business trips. We also see Faraj’s loyalty to his family by not disclosing any details on his business concerning the anti-government matters as he is trying to protect them from the...

...Executing IP Strategy with ICM Process Implementation By Bruce Story, Senior Advisor, ipCapital Group Introduction: Background from Dow While leading Intellectual Capital Management (ICM) in the Plastics Business at The Dow Chemical Company, I witnessed the value of having a business-aligned IP strategy, implemented early in the development of a new technology platform. The difference between leaving IP development to the ad hoc process dependent on the initiative of the inventor and using IP strategy to guide R&D and new business development can be immense. The high performance elastomers business platform developed at Dow in the last decade is worth over a billion dollars. With the increasingly global competitive environment, this never would have been sustained without the implementation of an IP strategy that took into account the business strategy, competitors’ patenting strategies, the product value chain, and providing a closecoupling of actionable IP strategy to the R&D staff. Previously, as is common in many companies, the IP strategy was basically a legal strategy for obtaining patents. Dow’s attorneys were very good at getting patents granted. However, the disclosing of inventions was left to the initiative of the inventors who were often too busy with their projects to document their inventions. The “Inventor-of-the–Year” Award went to the inventor who received the most U.S. patents in the previous year. Quantity was being rewarded rather than IP...

Candidate and research assistant at Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance, International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur Sponsored or supported by: ARIHICoE Research Grant Abstract Since the last few decades, Islamic finance industry has developed tremendously penetrating not only the Muslim countries but surprisingly the non-Muslim countries as well. It has been acknowledged by the scholars on the need for this development to cater for the Islamic banking, Takaful and Islamic capital market industries. These three main industries are interrelated and dependent on each other in order to ensure that the whole Islamic financial system is in compliance with the Islamic principles. Among these three streams of the service industry, the Islamic capital market plays a crucial role to support the other two. Since Islamic banks and Takaful operators have to invest to provide the benefits to the investors and policy holders which are compatible with the conventional counterparts, the Islamic capital market is assumed to be the backbone for the two to survive and grow in the Islamic...

Simon School of Business Administration, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14627, misra@simon.rochester.edu Paul B. Ellickson Sanjog Misra M ost supermarket firms choose to position themselves by offering either everyday low prices (EDLP) across several items or offering temporary price reductions (promotions) on a limited range of items. While this choice has been addressed from a theoretical perspective in both the marketing and economic literature, relatively little is known about how these decisions are made in practice, especially within a competitive environment. This paper exploits a unique store level data set consisting of every supermarket operating in the United States in 1998. For each of these stores, we observe the pricing strategy the firm has chosen to follow, as reported by the firm itself. Using a system of simultaneous discrete choice models, we estimate each store’s choice of pricing strategy as a static discrete game of incomplete information. In contrast to the predictions of the theoretical literature, we find strong evidence that firms cluster by strategy by choosing actions that agree with those of its rivals. We also find a significant impact of...

...What Can We Do with Our Environment? In the course of today’s situation regarding our environment and health welfare, it is indeed clear and unarguable that except nobody, we all must be concerned. The interconnections among all living and non-living elements in this planet satisfactorily satisfies the question “Why should I be concerned with the environment and health of other people?” Basically, people can leave with a poor and unhealthy environment, but believe me or not, they’ll die young; or should I say, WE’LL die young. Because in the context of today’s environmental and health situations, we undisputedly have unsatisfactory conditions of these. According to studies, about 50% of our forest lands have already been converted into commercial, residential, industrial and other purposes. Coastal resources have been suffering from the vast effects of Climate Change. I tell you, this isn’t a joke. Environmental issue is never a joke, because it can compromise huge things such as human lives. Millions of people die every year because of storms and typhoons. This can be accounted to the unstoppable flooding due to the deforestations that took huge number of trees in the mountains; resulting to the direct flow of water from mountain ridges to lowlands. Many people suffer from hunger because of continuously low catch of fish from the sea. This can be attributed to illegal fishing practices such as cyanide and dynamite fishing, which turns out to destroy the coral reefs and seagrass...

...HP commissioned SAND to do the integration part between CISCO and Oracle. The Approach: When SAND started on the project, we first explored our implementation options based on the technologies being used, and the architecture of the systems that we should integrate. After a the initial investigation and with the help of HP's person in charge of the project we found out that the version of CISCO used an ICM (Intelligent Contact Management) which has only one TCP/IP protocol interface (GED 145) for sending requests and receiving responses for the things that needed implementation. The ICM protocol was analyzed and the needed functions/messages were identified. On the Oracle side, we were supposed to either make direct database operations to retrieve the needed information, or to work with the Oracle implementation team to build some stored procedures for our use. The Solution: After several prototypes were developed to test the best approach for situation, we decided to implement a standalone middle wear between CISCO and Oracle instead of developing java helper classes for the ICM to call directly. The decision was based on the expected number of requests per second, the server configurations, and on the complexity of the transactions. Developing a standalone middle wear allowed us to decouple the software from both sides, and gave us the flexibility to optimize our code without fearing an impact on both ends of the...

...Affluent businessmen in Hong Kong raised funds amounting to Ninety Million Pesos (P90,000,000.00), in just one night, to help the ‘ultrapoor’ in the Philippines. The ultrapoor they considered are the ones who live on P13.00 or less a day. This was all made possible by the International Care Ministries (ICM) who helped raise funds for 1.7 million people who are scattered in 17 provinces of the Philippines. The ICM board chairperson, David Sutherland, said that the underlying cause of poverty is rooted on fatalism and the antidote to fatalism is hope. I can relate this news to our previous lesson in our religion subject which is about the Good Samaritan. As most of us know, there are a lot of people in Hong Kong who hate on us, Filipinos. It can be clearly seen in the news nowadays how some people in Hong Kong treat our fellow Filipinos who work there. Most of the stories were usually abusing and harassing the Filipinos. I can relate this to the story of The Good Samaritan because in the story, the Samaritans and Jews were not in good terms or they generally despised each other. Yet, a Samaritan helped a Jew who got beaten up and was left almost lifeless. I can see this story in the news I chose because no matter how some of the people in Hong Kong hate the Filipinos, there are still good-hearted men out there, who I consider as Good Samaritans, who just wants peace and everything better. They see that there is fatalism going on in our country and they go out of their way just...
